Taconic is pleased to announce the launch of the new Tacmaster & Tacweld product ranges for the Food and PVC welding industries respectively. Incorporating the new Vicote ™ coating system, Tacmaster & Tacweld take PTFE coated fabrics to a new level in terms of their surface quality, durability & lifetime.

Tacmaster 10 Blue has proved an astounding success in the food industry and is now widely used on contact cooking machines across Europe , such as Formcook & Berief. End-users achieve a better finish to the cooked products, increased abrasion resistance ensures longer lifetime, whilst superior coating increases release properties of the belt.

For further details, including scratch test results, which prove the superiority of Tacmaster versus a standard coated or laminated PTFE glass fabric, please refer to the linked files in English and German.

The Tacweld product range has been hailed by the PVC welding industry and embraced by customers at all levels of the distribution chain. The flagship product, Tacweld 69 Blue , incorporates increased wear, abrasion, puncture and cut through resistance to ensure a better weld and increased lifetime of the PTFE/Glass sleeve. Further information can be found in English, German and French in the linked files.

By testing Tacmaster 10 Blue & Tacweld 69 Blue, you too will be convinced of the resultant benefits. For further details of these revolutionary products, please refer to your local Taconic office.
